Speaker cable manufacturers

Hi all,
Not looking for recommendations specifically for a particular model of speaker cable, but looking to start by considering the companies themselves. I have a budget of $700 for a used set of 8ft pair of cables. My speakers are DIY Peerless and Sb tweeter 3 way hybrid open baffles. I want to try to avoid the cable-merry-go-round and go with a company the is generally highly regarded for making good stuff (low risk). I am considering Analysis Plus, JPS Labs. The only reason I am not considering the ultra small manufacturers is because I want to have the ability to sell later if need be and some of the really small guys don't have the recognition yet. Any additional manufacturers recommendations are welcomed

JPS Ultraconductor speaker cables posses the qualities you seek and for pennies on the dollar. Smooth liquid huge bass and delicate highs without harshness and a nice wide and deep detailed soundstage. There was a pair on here for sale about a week ago for $135! I actually use the dual bi-wire version which my or my not sound the same but if they sound like mine then you might have found your holy grail for very little investment.

I run (8 ps audio noise harvesters in room and everything through a passive bybee TAD power conditioner) oppo 95> vtl deluxe tube pre> bel canto evo6> Magnepan 2.6r (original xovers but bypassing the binding post plate) using all JPS cabling including power cables. NO HARSHNESS AT ALL, ONLY CRYSTALLINE HIGHS, LIQUID MIDRANGE AND SUPER TIGHT POWERFULL BASS!

Everything is system dependent but in my system they sing!

is there a specific "model"? I'm open to it as long as the price isn't crazy
